Make an enhanced linux bridge plugin supporting SDN via multicast
The current quantum plugin linux bridge can only leverage physical VLAN which is sometimes less convenient. This proposal introduces a new plugin to support software defined network via multicast mechanism. The enhanced plugin is going to make soft VLAN via the mechanism that different multicast group maps to different VLAN number, so that linux bridge is also able to have unlimited software defined VLAN like openvswitch. Note the new plugin will provide physical vlan and software vlan in the same time, not separate option. If the VLAN number > 4095, it will be software, otherwise physical one.
